We have the people to do the current job of flying the planes we have just not the numbers to do the flying of future planes. The company can and will still bribe the new hires while the current people get nothing. Even if people say enough and leave the company will just bribe new hires with more. The more people that leave the quicker a new hire will move up which is always an airlines best selling point. Look at Mesa. That quick upgrade and movement always brings bodies in.
